925 Sterling silver:

• Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% by weight of silver and 7.5% by weight of other metals, usually copper. The sterling silver standard has a minimum millesimal fineness of 925

The Facts:

• By nature, pure silver is a soft metal and can't be used to produce functional products for everyday use. However, by alloying the pure silver with another metal, most commonly copper, 925 sterling silver is created. When combining 92.5 percent pure silver with 7.5 percent copper, silversmiths then have an affordable, durable medium for jewelry, silverware and gift items that still maintains the shiny, white beauty of pure silver. Other than copper, sterling silver can also be made of zinc, nickel, geranium or platinum

Identification:

• Before buying a piece of silver jewelry or a gift, take a moment to verify the authenticity of the investment. Simply by looking inside a ring,on the clasp of a necklace or on the back of a frame or spoon, you can easily guarantee that you are buying "the real thing." As regulated by the United States' Federal Trade Commission, all silver products that are classified as sterling silver will be inscribed or stamped with the hallmark "925." Items must contain a minimum of 92.5 percent pure silver in order to be called "sterling" by government standards. A professional jeweler will be able to point out these markings

Considerations:

• Silver buyers should be aware that over time, silver pieces will tarnish--especially on items that are left in open air or are frequently touched, such as candlesticks or platters. Most fine jewelers sell silver polishing cloths and silver cleaners especially designed to remove these stains. Some liquid silver cleaning products even recommend leaving your silver jewelry to soak overnight for hassle-free cleaning. By polishing or soaking frequently, you avoid buildup, and your sterling silver maintains its original luster
